@Tdieseler We all have plenty of choice. When I'm not working, I'm not in front of a screen, unless it's maybe for an hour or two at night. When you're 77, you've "had your sporting and exercise days." It's just plain depressing to hear a 27-year-old say that. I mean, c'mon, really? :)

Well in reality a lot of people work on screens all day long spending 8,9,10 hours doing so. What is the difference really between someone doing that and doing it on their free time. At least with binge watching, most do it like once every few months or something when something good comes up, not every single day like working at a job involving screens or computers.

The principal is the same. You're sitting there at work or you're sitting there on the couch, money or not. We all do so much useless stuff in life. Not every second can be action packed with activity. A stormy weekend for example. We're talking what, 40 hours of ones life in an entire year if one binge watches a few shows here and there. If that brings enjoyment to some, then I fail to see the harm. These people could be out murdering you, but no, instead they are inside watching a marathon of Friends! Glass half full man!

LOL Yeah, I see what you're saying. :) And I like playing my games for an hour or two here and there to decompress.

Still, I fail to see how there are any excuses for an all-day binge. I mean, weather? Just because you're inside doesn't mean you have to be in front of a screen. Have we all completely forgotten about indoor activities that never required a screen? There are hundreds... And this-

LOL... then by all means completely give up the video games, GaG, tv, your phone, the internet and all those hours... and then you can really complain about how much time everyone is spending on screens!

Some people consider a couple of hours too much too. Life is full of work and stress and world problems and personal problems. Just becuase someone binges one weekend, doesn't mean they aren't doing charity work or running marathons on another. As you can probably attest, we all need some time for mindless fun. I personally can't get flustered about how people unwind and simultaneously keep from killing us all because it's their life, their time, and that's the way they choose to spend it. And again 40 hours in like a year, not everyday, every weekend. Doesn't mean you have to subscribe to it (looks around at... all the people of GaG currently wasting time).

Stranger Things is a story set in the 80s about a boy who goes missing and then is "found dead," however his three best friends and the boy's mother find out that everything isn't as it seems because they can all literally hear him talking to them from somewhere they can't see. When they set out to find him, they inadvertently find a girl with a buzzed hair cut, tattoo on her arm, and mysterious powers who is part of a larger conspiracy. She says she knows their friend, but as everything unravels, what may have the boy begins hunting the town and them.

I am soooo glad someone has seen it! There are so many nods to great 80s sci-fi, teen movies, and horror movies in it and everything else you mentioned. I finally felt like someone did a PROPER homage to the 80s. The costumes, the cars, the hair, the sets, everything was so spot on you forgot that this was made in what 2015/16.

I hated one for sure and have never successfully finished it, but I got hooked in Season 3 with Coven, then Freak Show, then Hotel and went back to watch Season 2s Asylum. I would say the whole series is an acquired taste. Definitely not everyone's cup of tea. Best Season though would definitely be Freak Show.
